From animals and architecture to treasures and wild weather, these are the shows we’ll be watching this month.

1. Most “Mythbusters” experiments come with a “Don’t try this at home” caveat, but in the February 1 edition of the Discovery series, they’re making an about face, showcasing scientific conundrums that won’t blow up in your living room. “Mythbusters: Do Try This at Home” allows viewers to safely play along.

3. PBS takes an inside look at the world’s tallest buildings in the four-part series “Super Skyscrapers,” beginning February 5 with “One World Trade Center,” the 1776-foot tower located at the former Ground Zero site in Manhattan. Subsequent episodes cover London’s Leadenhall building, known locally as “The Cheese Grater,” China’s Shanghai Tower, and One 57, a 75-story luxury residential tower in Manhattan.

4. In 2003, thousands of skeletons were discovered in a newly opened catacomb beneath Rome, and the quest to find out who they were and what killed them is a fascinating exercise in forensic anthropology and the bass for “The Great Catacomb Mystery,” a special airing on PBS “Nova” February 5.

6. The waters of the Pacific Northwest are known as the Graveyard of the Pacific, and you’ll find our why as Weather Channel follows Coast Guard members on their dangerous rescue missions In “Coast Guard Cape Disappointment/Pacific Northwest,” premiering February 9.

7. The red masonry dome that tops Florence, Italy’s cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is an architectural wonder that remains a puzzle to this day: how was the four-million-brick structure built so symmetrically without collapsing? The secret died with architect Filippo Brunelleschi, but in the PBS “Nova” special “The Great Cathedral Mystery,” airing February 12, a team of master builders attempts to create a “mini-Duormo” to uncover how it was done.
